*****Charlie Puth's first LP release did a great job at a lot of things. One thing that is important to note is that almost every single song on this album could be released as a single and find some success. The songs are all listenable and lighthearted and fun, but that's also what restrains this album from being rated higher. This is an innocent and safe release for a debut album, but I'd much like to see some more creativity and boundary pushing next album. Charlie Puth does pop, and he does it well, but he will fade if he cannot adapt his signature sound later on.

For now, though, this is a good first offering from an artist I'd like to see a lot more of.
